Chapter 280: The End of the 4th Brigade (21)
Back on the battlefield.
The appearance of a large number of deserters undoubtedly dealt a major blow to the morale of the Japanese troops who were still holding their ground.
The four infantry guns, after firing only a few shots at the Chinese troops 700 meters away, were blown into flying parts by the overwhelming artillery fire, along with the brave artillerymen.
The carefully constructed heavy machine gun position was blown into ruins without even firing a single shot, and the once cumbersome heavy machine gun flew out dozens of meters away in the face of a huge shock wave like catkins, and a heavy tripod even fell from the sky and nailed a Japanese captain who was prostrate in the trench with his head in his arms.
The huge gravity turned the tripod without a blade into a terrifying killing weapon, inserted from the back, the chest cavity penetrated, and then penetrated more than 20 centimeters into the ground, when the soldiers risked great danger to wail on the ground in pain for a long time, the squadron leader struggled to pull it up from the ground, the red lung lobes hanging on the tripod made the soldiers with the toughest nerves can't help but vomit.
The Japanese captain who had not yet died became the first infantry squadron leader in the Kwantung Army to be killed by his own soldiers, using the southern fourteen pistol he was wearing, which was rated as the most scummy weapon in the history of the Japanese army.
The shot to the temple had nearly cost him the Celestial Cover, but there was an eerie smile on the face of the Japanese captain in pain.
Death is the greatest relief in the face of the great pain caused by a blunt object as thick as an arm inserted into the chest.
The Japanese soldiers, who had never been treated with such artillery fire, finally went mad, and they could not bear the fact that they would end up as a cold corpse with such efforts to curl up.
Especially at a time when the enemy's seemingly endless shells are still smashing in.
However, they did not flee their positions as their compatriots who had lost the glory of the Japanese Empire, but instead launched a charge against the Chinese army that surrounded them on three sides, led by the officers of the various departments.
They are not afraid of death, they just don't want to die so senselessly, and their choice at this moment even makes the national soldiers feel a kind of respect. Although they are invaders, although they are full of evil, at this moment, they are undoubtedly the best guardians of their own nation.
In the face of the best soldiers of the alien race, Liu Lang's idea is very simple, then it is better to die one less one! Without waiting for his order, the soldiers of the independent regiment, whose nerves have been tempered more and more tenacity, used accurate marksmanship to train more than 1,500 rounds of ammunition to shoot the Japanese soldiers who dared to charge one by one on their way to charge, and the distance of 300 meters was covered with the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, from adjutant to lieutenant to soldier, no one could survive.
In this battle, no prisoners are needed. Liu Lang's military order had already reached the ears of every soldier, including the three battalions of the 29th Army.
No one refused.
War itself is one of the most dehumanizing acts that human beings have ever developed. Especially in a war like this between two peoples for the right to live, the essence of either you die or I die has made both sides red-eyed.
In front of the 3-kilometer-wide position, the corpses of more than 700 Japanese soldiers were thrown down, which became a proof of the Japanese army's fearless death and allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor.
At the same time, it has also become the most dazzling medal on the chests of all officers and soldiers of the 288th and 289th regiments of the 29th Army.
Except for three people who were burned by a few shells fired by the only remaining 4 infantry guns of the 4th Brigade, none of the 3,300 Chinese officers and soldiers who participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the remnants of the 4th Brigade were killed.
Under the strafing fire of more than 40 light and heavy machine guns of the Chinese side regardless of the cost, the corpse of the Japanese soldier closest to the Chinese position, which was desperately charged, also fell 200 meters away.
The elite of the Japanese army, who were once able to shoot Chinese soldiers in the head from a distance of 300 meters, were actually as vulnerable as chickens in a storm in the face of the torrent of bullets, and they simply could not maintain their strong combat effectiveness with the support of their superior firepower as usual. Often, just after stopping, hoping for a result, is swept away by a dense and suffocating torrent of bullets.
The only thing they could do was sprint, sprint, dash closer, and then, die.
No one can escape machine gun fire, just as they carry machine guns to slaughter the common people of China in their mouths.
It's just that this time it's just themselves.
The sound of artillery gradually stopped, and the sound of gunfire calmed down after the last wounded Japanese soldier struggled to get up in vain and was killed by a merciless shot.
Liu Dazhu's infantry company, as a search company, took the lead in entering the Japanese position, and after a few shots rang out from time to time, the already chaotic Japanese position became a deathly silence.
Receiving all the safety signals from Liu Dazhu, Liu Lang led all the colonel-level officers to the main position of the 4th Brigade.
Positions that have been completely captured by artillery shelling and positions that have been attacked with bullets are two completely different concepts.
The Chinese officers finally knew why the Japanese knew that they would die, and they had to abandon their fortifications and rush out of their positions to fight the enemy to the death.
Here, it's a Shura hell.
The human limbs scattered everywhere are mostly miserable white and pitch black, and the miserable white severed limbs are obviously cut directly from the human body by shrapnel, and there is no blood circulation and then after a low temperature freeze, it is very much like pork put on the board by a butcher.
The pitch-black ones are torn apart by the blast and then burned by the high temperature released by the explosion of gunpowder.
The officers, who did not have time for breakfast, even smelled a strange aroma ---- the smell of roasted meat.
"What does this smell like?" The commander of the 29th Army, who was obviously a man from Shaanxi, couldn't help but snort and take an extra mouthful.
"Essentially, the human body is also a carbohydrate." Liu Lang explained with a smile, for fear that these chemical scum wouldn't understand, and then said in a vernacular: "The meat of any creature tastes like this when it is cooked, whether it is a pig or a horse, or a 。。。。。。 ”
"Vomit 。。。。。。" looked at a pitch-black human thigh hanging on the fortifications only fifty centimeters away from him, and the battalion commander of the major, who had an extra mouth, vomited on the spot.
Even if his nerves were as strong as Chi Dakui, he couldn't help but churn in his stomach. He smelled it just now.
Fortunately, seeing that everyone except for the head of the regiment was pale, the shame in Chi Dakui's heart was reduced by a few points.
Tang Yongming, whose face was pale, looked at Liu Lang, who was telling the source of the barbecue as usual, and there was a hint of fear in his admiration, such a tenacious nerve, how many people must have been killed!
There is no way to count the casualties on the Japanese positions, and no one can piece together the remnants of those stumps into the results of the artillery company. In fact, if the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who are still searching dig up many bombed anti-artillery holes, they will find many well-preserved corpses of Japanese soldiers who were suffocated alive, but no one knows, and even if they do, no one will waste their efforts so much.
The anti-artillery holes they worked hard to dig became the best graves of the Japanese army themselves, reducing the number of countable results of the Chinese army, and they also became the best fertilizer for the empty land of Luo Wenyu Pass.
After this battle, it became a fertile grassland, and became the fattest pasture of the surrounding mountain people, and the goats they raised ate fat and strong, becoming the famous Rowan sheep.
